NEW Seeland Hiley Jacket & Trousers for 2010/2011

New Seeland Hiley Jacket & Trousers for 2010/2011

The new Seeland Hiley Jacket is more or less a replacement for the long running Broadland jacket of which production came to an end in 2008.

The Hiley uses a different more durable nylon/polyester mix together with contrasting buffalo nubuck trim on the shoulders and on the edges of the pockets. The nubuck lining prevents excessive wear on those key areas. There is also a detachable hood which can be easily stored in one of the large bellows pockets or in the game pocket on the rear of the jacket.

The Hiley has the Seeland Seetex membrane which makes it waterproof ,windproof and breathable and helps to provide protection in bad weather conditions.

The Hiley jacket also has all the necessary pockets a hunter or outdoor enthusiast would ever need.

The Hiley Trousers are made from the same durable material with the buffalo nubuck contrasting outer material down most of the front of the trouser legs and in the hip pockets.

The trousers also come with cargo pockets on both legs which are trimmed with nubuck for extra resistance against wear. The trousers also have the Seetex 100% waterproof membrane, which together with the extensively protected areas makes them ideal for crawling on wet and rough ground.

The new Seeland Hiley Jacket & Trousers will be available from August 2010!

NEW Seeland Glensbury Lady Jacket & Trousers for 2010/2011

NEW Seeland Glensbury Lady jacket & trousers for 2010/2011

Seeland have produced a ladies version of the new Glensbury range which will also be officially launched in August 2010.

The material used to make the Glensbury Lady collection is the same as that used in the manufacture of the mens Glensbury version. However the Glensbury Lady has been styled to suit the female form but at the same time shares all the same attributes as the mens version. The Glensbury Lady Jacket provides plenty of warmth and in combination with Seeland's Seetex 100% membrane, makes the jacket both waterproof & breathable.

The only real difference is that there is no contrasting polyester suede trim on the shoulders when compared to the mens version. Instead there is the thicker diamond quilted fabric which covers the arms and side panels of the main body of the jacket. However, the polyester suede trim is used on edges of the front bellows pockets.

The same applies for the Glensbury Lady trousers, where there is no contrasting polyester suede trim on outer & inner of the hip pockets, but does line the pocket edges and single cargo pocket on the right leg.
The Glensbury Lady trousers are specifically tailored to fit the female shape perfectly, thus providing ease of movement and optimum comfort. As with the Jacket, the trousers are also 100% waterproof due to the Seetex membrane which forms part of the lining.

We think this suit will appeal to many lady outdoor & hunting enthusiasts!

NEW SEELAND Glensbury Jacket & Trousers

New Seeland Glensbury Jacket & Trousers for 2010/2011

The new Seeland Glensbury range for 2010/2011 is very stylishly cut, while at the same time offering the customer the highest level protection against adverse weather conditions. The Glensbury Jacket has the tried & tested Seetex waterproof & breathable membrane.

A lot of thought has been put into creating the Glensbury collection. Not only are the jacket & trousers stylishly cut, but every detail has a purpose . The contrasting polyester suede trim on the shoulders and pocket edges protects the jacket against excessive wear, while at the same time giving the overall appearance of the jacket a distinctive look.

The diamond quilted top half of the jacket which tapers down the front and contrasts with the plain green side panels helps to accentuate the masculine male body shape, whilst giving a more slender appearance.

The Glensbury jacket comes equipped with two large front bellows pockets and two handwarmer pockets located higher up along the taper edge of the diamond quilt fabric on the front of the jacket.

The matching Glensbury Trousers have contrasting trim on the outer and inner part of the hip pockets and along the edges of the cargo pockets located further down on the side of the legs.

As with nearly all of the trousers produced in by Seeland, they all come with the buttons necessary for wearing them with braces, together with belt loops for use with a traditional belt.

NEW Seeland Calverton Safety Jacket for 2010

New Seeland Calverton Safety Jacket for 2010/2011!

The Calverton Jacket has been around for a number of seasons now which proves just how popular this range is.

The design of the jacket has remained largely the same. Contrasting polyester suede patches located on the shoulders protect the jacket against excessive wear while providing a stylish finish to the design of the jacket.

The only real difference being the addition of Mossy Oak Orange Blaze reversible panels on the front and back of the jacket. The purpose of this design detail is only there for safety reasons.

It is common for individual members of a group of rough shooters to stray into each others territory when out hunting, which increases the chance of a shooting related accident.

The Scandinavians have been leading the way in safety measures such as introducing high visibility strips and armbands on outdoor/hunting clothing. A popular jacket from Seelands sister company Harkila called the ProHunter Jacket, has featured high visibility safety arm bands for many years.

It is worth mentioning that the Mossy Oak Orange Blaze panels used on the Claverton Safety Jacket also incorporate a cammo patern which is still designed to keep the human form concealed from the wildlife, while at the same time giving the hunter extra protection when out hunting with his fellow shooting companions.

The Calverton Safety Jacket is 100% waterproof & windproof due to the tried and tested Seetex membrane.

This jacket comes with all the necessary pockets a hunter will need including a large rear game pocket on the back of the jacket.

The New Seeland Calverton Safety Jacket will be on sale from August 2010!

NEW HARKILA FLEECES FOR 2010

New range of Harkila Fleeces for 2010!

Harkila has created a new range of Ladies & Men's fleeces available August 2010.

Starting with the Hassela Lady fleece which uses a mid weight Polartec 100% polyester Fleece together with a polyester suede contrast fabric. These attributes make the Hassela both warm, comfortable and stylish, which enables the user to wear it on it's own or part of layering system.

The polyester suede effect panels on the sides of the fleece are more durable, therefore protecting the fleece from becoming worn out quickly in those key wear sensitive areas.

Next up is the Delsbo Men's Fleece. This fleece is made from the same Polartec fleece material as used in the Hassela Lady Fleece. The Delsbo comes equipped with 4 pockets in total. Two zipped hand warmer pockets and two zipped shoulder pockets. The areas surrounding all the pockets are protected using the polyester suede effect material which will help guard against excessive wear.

Then we have the new Tulloch Polartec Power Stretch Fleece. The clue is in the name.. The Harkila Tulloch Fleece is made using a Polartec Power Stretch fabric. The addition of a material called Spandex enables the fleece to stretch affording the wearer more movement capability.

This material is also very breathable which helps you to keep dry when on the move whilst remaining lightweight. The Tulloch Fleece is also wind and abrasion resistant.

Innovative garments such as the Tulloch always prove to be a popular, and I don't think this fleece will be an acceptation! Available from August 2010 onwards!

Lastly, we have the Vindeln Polartec Wind Pro Fleece Jacket. A description which would be a mouthful for anybody... However, this rather long description does reflect this fleece's capabilities.

First of all, the Vindeln uses a Polartec Wind Pro Polyester material, which is extremely breathable and yet still manages to be up to four times more wind resistant than regular fleece fabrics. These qualities enable the user to wear the fleece as both an outerwear and insulation layer while being exceptionally durable. The Vindeln also has two chest pockets.

The hanford is a light weight long sleeved fleece which can be used as part of layering system or as single layer for those warmer days.

The Hanford comes with a half zip neck and a pheasant embroidery of which must be said, is of a high standard.

The Hanford also has anti pill properties in order for it to maintain a new look.

The Tatton has the same attributes as the Hanford, but has a full zip, two front pockets and elasticated cuffs together with an adjustable hem for extra warmth.

The main advantage of the tatton, is the fact that it comes with the ISOFLUX waterproof and breathable membrane. This advantage coupled with its very competitive pricing, makes it one of the most affordable waterproof fleece jackets on the market.

As you would expect, it comes with their tried and trusted ISOFLUX 8.500 series membrane, which ensures that the Gadwall is 100% waterproof and breathable.

Sherwood Forest Felbrigg Jacket & Trousers and Accessories

Sherwood Forest Felbrigg Jacket & Trousers

The Felbrigg Jacket & Trousers are absolutely ideal for stalking. There are of course many good suppliers of camo stalking clothing out there, and there is very little to separate them on performance.
It really comes down to a few defining innovative touches and of course the choice of the correct camo pattern used by the manufacturer. In this case the pattern used is that of Mossy Oak, which is perfect for most European hunting areas.

The Felbrigg Jacket however, has some unique features which I feel set it apart from the majority of similar garments, such as the use of a ISOFLUX membrane which makes the jacket 100% waterproof, windproof whilst retaining breathability. Therefore it was possible for Sherwood Forest to manufacture the Felbrigg jacket & trousers using a lightweight construction (100% Polyester) safely with the knowledge that they would still be warm enough to wear. As well as having a large rear poachers pocket, the jacket also has a detachable game bag with a looped handle in order to carry game. The jacket also has a detachable hood which can also be stored under the collar.

It's features such as these which set it apart from the rest.

The Felbrigg trousers deserve a mention too. The trousers are very comfortable and allow for ease of movement due to the elasticated waist, which ensures that every person is catered for depending on the size chosen between 32" to 42" waist. They also come belt looped to aid an even better fit. The Felbrigg trousers also have a large number of pockets to suit most applications. They also feature partially zipped lower legs with Velcro storm flaps, which allow you to widen or restrict the leg bottoms against the elements or to allow them to fit over high stalking boots etc.

To complete the set, you can also buy the long (Somerley) or short sleeved shirt (Tilbury) in the exact same camo pattern i.e. Mossy Oak.
